Split Food: Konoba Matejuška

Ever since I had my first Risotto, cooked by my best friend’s Mum on a hot summer day in the south of France, I have been obsessed with this dish. Whether it’s Asparagus Risotto, Risotto with spinach or mushrooms, I will always have a risotto if I can. However, never have I ever had black risotto in my entire life. I didn’t even know things like this existed.

Konoba Matejuška is actually famous for their black risotto. It’s served with squid, fresh tomatoes and a slice of lemon to finish it off perfectly. After walking around town all day, doing enough sightseeing for 4 countries, I made my way to Konoba Matejuška. I got a little lost on my way to find this place because it’s more or less hidden in a cute side street minutes from the Marjan Park. Once there I instantly felt calm. The whole atmosphere of this little place was just so calming and relaxing even before I had sat down. I was welcomed by a handsome waiter who greeted me kindly. I immediately asked for the black risotto, that’s what I was here for after all. He smiled and a short while later I was served the biggest portion of risotto I have ever had. And it was black, surprise. Needless to say that it was just as delicious as I thought it would be. I had to have a glass of red with this dish of course. Split locals really know how to enjoy life. The always take their time even when just having coffee. I did so too and probably spent more than 3 hours at Konoba Matejuška, eating, drinking and enjoying the company of some other tourists. Unfortunately the plate was too much for me to finish. Still, this place is definitely worth a visit.
